For anyone researching, writing or reading wartime naval history that touches on the U-boat war, whether in the Atlantic or in distant oceans, this work is a most valuable reference to use as a cross-check. Wynn has used some basic material, from the British PRO, the Bundesarchiv and the U-boat-Archiv in Cuxhaven. He credits naturally, Dr. Jurgen Rohwer's prior research and that of others. Thus the odd error has been perpetuated. But with some 1,200 boats' histories, these are remarkably few. Wynn is an engineer with a long time interest in the U-boat war arising from a stamp and 1st Day Cover collecting hobby.
